CORPORATON OF OHIO MANURE SPREADER Origin-a1application led March 14, 1924, Serial No. 699,385. Divided andY 19,1927. Serial 176,730.

This invention relates to improvements in manure spreaders, itparticularly relating to the draft appliances and steering devices forthe frontwheels, including an arrangement to limit the movement of theseparts; this application being a division of my previous application,Serial No. 699,385, filed March 14, 1924.

The object of my invention is to provide simple andy effective draftappliances and steering connections between the same and the frontwheels in connection with simple and eii'ective means for limiting themovement of the parts to prevent too close turning.

In the accompanying drawings: l

Fig. 1 is a top plan view of the front axle, draft appliances andvconnections between the draft appliances and the spindles of the frontwheels. Y

Fig. 2 is a sectionon the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Referring lto the drawings, the front axle is formed oi"A two angle ironmembers 8, the

" edges of the horizontal and Vertical webs of' which are placedtogether so as 'to form a hollow structure which has a central lillermember 9, this filler member and thetwov explained in my previousapplication re;-`

erred to, and secured to each side of the axle is a U-shaped plate 11,the vertical sides of which embrace the axle members so as to cooperatewith the guide members 3b to guide the axle; the said plate 11 beingsecured to the axle member by the rivet l17.

The sleeve bearing 13 for each wheel spindle 15 has Van integrallyformed shank shown in dotted lines at 16, which is placed in theadjacent end of the axle and rigidly connected Ytherewith by the saidrivet 17, which passes through the vertical webs of the two axle members8 so as to stiiien the axle strueture and to provide :for rigidlysecuring the bearing sleeve 13 thereto. A sleeve 18 at the juncture ofthe vertical and horizontal portions of each spindle is Vkeyed to the.spindle laus application ined 'Maren by a pin (not shown), andthissleeve18 has 'oppositely` projecting ears, shown in dotted lines at'20, inFig. 1,y to which are secured by rivets 21 a steering arm V22.

A bolster 25 `of angle iron is shown in Figs. 1 and 2 Aand Vhas itscentral vportion vresting upon the top of the central portion of theaxle. Secured to the vertical web oi the bol.- ster by rivets 27 is thevertical-web of a plate 28,v a horizontal web of which projectsforwardly and is ofi-set upwardly as indicated f at 28.4 Secured to .theforward side of the axle by the rivets 10 is a U-,Shapedmember 29, thehorizontal webs-of which receive a pivot bolt 30, the head 30 ofwhichis, disposed lbetween the ripper horizontal :portion of theymember-29 and the oit-set portion 28?;

the'- bolt having an lextension 30, which ex-` tends loosely throughtheaperture in the part 28', thus holding the :bolster against endwisemovement on the axle and also holding the vmovablebushing', 'shown 'in'dottedlines at sleeve `3l has onits yforward side-an'integrally i'ormedtransversely extending boss 31Y providedwith va transversely arrangedopening to receiveabolt 33 upon which fissecu-red as rigidly as possiblethe vertical webs of apair ofV angle ironfdraft members V34 which extendforwardly and havetheir forward ends cons The vertical portions of thisU-shaped plate are connected by rivets 36 to the vertical webs @.5

ofthe members 34,'with the horizontalpor- 'ation thereof disposed asuitable distance Vabove the upper edges of the vertical webs of 'themembers` 34. The vertical webs of the end provided with aicotter pin`39. "The tongue 40 `is provided with wear plates 45 at its sides andinserted betweenthe members 34 and is apertured to receive the pin 3';so that the tongue is connected tothe members 34 on a horizontal pivot,the members 34 being in turn rigidly connected to the sleeve 'bolster'in Valignment wi-thithe axle.r Pivoted Aon this -bolt is a sleeve 31provided with are- .nested by an inverted U-shap-edplate `35. l

in parallel relation with the main portion 1 thereof so as to embracethe end of the link 41. The inner end of each of the links 41 is formedwith an eye 44 (Fig. 3), to receive a hardened `pin k46 carried by abracket 47 which is riveted to the horizontal webs of the draftappliance members 34, as shown in Fig. 3. The upper end of the pin has aredle swivelly connected to each end of said axle, and links pivotallyconnecting said spindle to said bracket. i

4. In a structure of the character described, an axle, a pair ofspaced-apart draft members pivotally connected with said axle byarvertical pivot, a tongue extending between said draft members andpivotally con-AV nected therewith by' a horizontal pivot, a

bracket rigidly connected to the under sides of said draft members, awheel'spindle swivelly connected with eachV end of said axle, and a linkpivot-ally connecting Cach wheel spindle with said bracket, the ends ofsaid bracket V being extended beyond said draft members to cooperatewith said axleto form stops.. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto setmy hand this 3rd day of March, 1927. Y

duced neck 46- which passes through an aperture in the bracket and isriveted down as shown, the pin being renewable as occasion demands. Thebracket 47 has end extensions 47', curved slightly in a rearwarddirection, which extensions act as stops by contact with the axle member8 to prevent tooclose turnin@r ofthe par-ts.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:
